“…[12] The¯exibility is largely dependent on the pH values at which the complex formation is achieved. [477,12,15,16] Considerable attention has been paid to the investigation of the metal complex-forming properties involving such ligands using various techniques. [4730] However, particularly with divalent metal ions, [4714] the results are by no means as certain; con¯icting interpretations for the mode of coordination and discrepancies of stability constant values have been reported.…”
